Me and Earl and the Dying Girl Trailers

Greg is coasting through senior year of high school as anonymously as possible, avoiding social interactions like the plague while secretly making spirited, bizarre films with Earl, his only friend. But both his anonymity and friendship threaten to unravel when his mother forces him to befriend a classmate with leukemia.

This film is truly original. I can not stop thinking about it. Everything it shows you is necessary from beginning to end. The narator tells the watcher she doesn't die in the end, and that takes the attention away from the girl and it brings a real "coming of age" vibe to the story. This is supported by the great way it shows how you can feel when someone you like touches you and more. But then, in the end, she dies anyway. Even though everyone suspected this, it is still a great plot twist and it brings back the pain of losing. This makes the end the pinnacle of the movie, and end this fenomenal scenario. Thank you to everyone credited.

It's been years since I cried the last time. Be it any reason, watching movies, listening to Kurt Cobain, or Chester Bennington (yeah, before he passed, his music still touched hearts), or getting my ass whooped by my dad.But this movie, it changes things. It changes how you feel about a person who's slowly passing away. Each moment of their life is a pain knowing that it's never coming back and probably before anything even comes close would be too late. The decisions one's gotta make, irrespective whether you've been in the life of the person before the news spread or not. The people, of whom you'd think that they're just plain selfish, but they're not. Tonnes of other stuff that I can't go on about..The clock of crying got reset today. 0 days and counting.

The movie diden´t have some part of the book that made the book so great to read. The movie was missing some important detals like Greg having siblings or the ending like the book had but not the movie which I thoguh was important. But I still liked the movie very much despised that the movie made me cry so plus point for that.

In this era of every movie being based on a book, Me and Earl and The Dying Girl proves that maybe the movie can be better than the book. Jesse Andrews, the author of the book, sets up the story perfectly for a film adaptation, to the point where it almost seems as if this was his true intent with the story. This film is beautiful, it plays with stop motion, shaped frames, camera angles and drawing in a way that no other film has done in recent years. The handmade aesthetic of the film is perfect for the main character Greg as his mind sees the world through film. This is a movie for everyone, film fanatics will appreciate the many references and homages to past films and people looking for a teen, cancer romance will find this is the perfect story, feel good and heart breaking. This film is often compared to The Fault in Our Stars, for a good reason, the stories are very similar, however Me and Earl seems to be what TFIOS could have been. This film stands alone, an audience doesn't need to read the book to understand and fall in love/hate with the characters. The acting and direction is stunning, with the three leading teens stealing the show. This is truly a spectacle of what teen flicks could be if we don't settle for the mediocre films being produced today.
